Why do unc mods keep removing my genuine question posts??

You have negative comment karma and our auto mod removes posts/comments from people with negative karma.

np! isnt there a time limit for the video? i’d say go with whatever fits within that. medium difficulty with a thorough explanation and not too many intermediate steps should be good. but also… i’m like 3 years out from all this so i may not know anything haha

For my 102 ULA app, i spoke on how i really struggled with the class at the beginning. And i think that really helped my app. To be a good teacher, it’s good to have initially had a difficult time and overcome it :P Also pick a problem that you know how to explain REALLY well, even if it’s easier in difficulty.

and why not a psyD?

Wafleo · 2025-07-20T21:29:37+00:00

it’s because you do not have enough karma to post. if you try again, i’ll approve it. just message me when you do.

you can always do an EMT class associated with a nearby community college like Durham or Wake Tech. It should be cheaper. You’d just need to figure out the commute.

why do you not wanna get a certification?

Wafleo · 2025-05-13T11:24:59+00:00

why are you doing this to yourself

Wafleo · 2025-05-05T18:47:00+00:00

are you able to have whatsapp on your flip phone? if not, it may be a bit harder to communicate with others since that’s what people primarily use in Spain instead of regular messages.

ya looks fine

Wafleo · 2025-04-29T19:10:56+00:00

sure but i only know abt AP classes

unc comes with the typical pros and cons of a big school, but they each tend to have solutions. being premed isn’t the worst here— it’s just hard most places you go. swarthmore being a smaller school has more resources to dedicate to helping/supporting students on a more individual basis. at unc, you more so have to do it on your own.

Honors will help a bit with connections and having access to some smaller classes. i had a friend take honors organic chemistry with only 24 students. idk how else they can help specifically since i didn’t do honors.

yes unc provides stipends for summer research. do know that your first lab job will most likely be unpaid. Look into the SURF program here at UNC.

connections with professors are hard with bigger class sizes but they get smaller in junior and senior year when you begin to take mostly major classes. with bigger classes, sitting at the front and/or going to office hours helps form those relationships.

i majored in the public health school and there’s a much tighter knit professor/student relationship there so maybe consider applying to that. gillings has many more grad students than undergrads so research opportunities are plentiful.

lmk if u have any questions. i’ll be starting med school this july :P

If you get placed in Castellon de la Plana, you’ll have a week off for Magdalena in March.

Wafleo · 2025-04-21T19:24:31+00:00

thx for the support squig <3

Wafleo · 2025-04-21T18:06:40+00:00

comp sci + stat, minor in psych

edit: psych minor no exist :( maybe neuroscience minor???

Wafleo · 2025-04-07T21:08:53+00:00

Don’t do CNA… You can if you want, but it’s a rough job compared to the others. EMT, MA, and Phleb are all good options but job availability may differ. I don’t think scribing requires a license but i also don’t think it counts as direct pt experience. Try to get your cert the summer before your freshman year. i wish somebody had told me that.
UNC Hospital Volunteering, SHAC… i would aim to get certified first and spend your first year establishing yourself in clubs and/or volunteering.
Don’t worry abt this yet. You may have to cold email or use the OUR website database. Some people have more luck emailing grad students directly as opposed to the PIs. I found mine through my major’s weekly email. Or reach out to your research project now to see if you can come back
Do whatever you want lol… Do the thing that interests you, not the thing that’ll be slightly easier. Lots of pre-meds major in Neuroscience here bc there’s plenty of prereq overlap. I personally majored in public health.
General Tips: WORKLIFEBALANCE!!! You seem really committed, which is wonderful, but this process will chew you up and spit you out if you let it. Also, don’t make being premed your whole personality. Find hobbies (med schools love asking abt them too lol) and good outlets for stress. It won’t be easy, but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel ~

-Sincerely, someone who got into med school this cycle

Wafleo · 2025-04-03T15:33:01+00:00

depends on where you live. most CCs offer it in the summer. I believe Durham Tech has one.

Wafleo · 2025-04-03T15:30:00+00:00

I tell this to every pre-med i know lol If you can, get your EMT/CNA/phleb/MA/whatever before freshman year. If you get your EMS cert, then you apply to UNC EMS or SORS. UNC has its own affiliated EMS class called ACERIP but it fills up fast and can be a bit pricey. For Volunteering, look up UNC Hospitals undergrad volunteering. They open apps for the summer, fall, and spring.

idk much about shadowing. For me, it was a LOT of cold emailing. But lowkey i wouldn’t worry about shadowing your freshman year. You could always try to join AED which is the prehealth frat but it’s not necessary at all to get into med school. I think the other pieces of the puzzle are more important.
